But First, Songkhla

I spent the weekend in Songkhla. But that's no excuse not to blog! I spent my time as I always do when I go down south to visit my family; eating, getting some Buddhist guidance from my grandma, eating, walking around, and did I mention eating? Here's some photographic chronicles of my 24 hr trip 'ต่างจังหวัด' (upcountry, or in this case downcountry).

I strolled down the Walking Street for the festival 'สงขลาแต่แรก' ('But first, Songkhla') which basically means a celebration of Songkhla history. Tons of food, puppet shows with traditional leather cut out puppets, rock music and antiques. New and vintage clothing were both in abundance. I love vintage clothing because it's really just recycling. And all fashion is cyclical so second hand is always relevant.
